Pathfinder Missions

The CityMerc Pathfinders need your help! Pathfinder recruiters near the entrance to each major hub will direct runners to the numerous Pathfinder bases, starting with J-05 and Crest Village in C-05.

Pathfinder bases are ranked by danger-level:

• Green-band: C-08 (Crest Village) and J-05.
• Orange-band: F-04, H-08, J-10 (El Farid), and E-12 (Catlock Bay).
• Red-band: K-15 (Escador Oasis) and I-16.

Green-band missions (Grassland)

Runners can complete either the Grassland (C-08) or Wasteland (J-05) assignments first. After completing both sets, runners will be directed to the Orange-band swamp base in F-04 which is where the missions become sequential.

Mission 1 - Grassland Assignments (1/2) - Required Rank:/40

The Pathfinders want you to scout A09 for a destroyed Copbot and collect its memory bank to return to them.
